Hi Melina, great post! I particularly liked your example of the receipt paper with . My library has been doing this for about a year and the patrons LOVE the feature. It’s a great example of the library making a […]

At home, I’m a completely messy person (I’ve been promising myself I’ll clean my room for weeks now) but at work, I’m pretty organized, I guess because the stakes are higher—I don’t want to lose a note or forget […]

Hi Nikki,
I was debating between reading this book for the assignment or another one (Palaces for the People) and opted for the other one. But based on your post, I think I’m going to read this one too. I like […]

This is great. I will definitely try to attend. Will this be recorded? I just saw an article about them in the American Libraries magazine. I am so interested in seeing how the more patrons are trusted, the more […]

HI Nikki,
Great summary, and I am going to see if I can find this book because I see so many of these issues and discussions happening around me. The notion that libraries will be places where people go to get […]

I’m hoping to make the #hyperlib chat, but in case I don’t…
Is there any demographic information yet on the users of open+? What are the most common groups of users of the service? Homeless, students, retirees? […]

Hi Josephine,

Hi Jeff,

First I love the name Shushbusters, maybe I missed that before, but it’s a great name for a library blog.

I enjoyed how you wove your own experience at Disneyland into the book’s overall thesis. […]
